Wow. The last time I posted Nora had just turned five and we were starting up our school year. We've had a good school year so far, and I've been focusing on daily tasks of living and schooling and loving as best as I can, and that means that blogging has fallen by the wayside. Not just blog posts, but I've also neglected returning emails and phone calls as my days sweep by (and if you are someone to whom I failed to respond, I promise it was not intentional!). So I feel like I have been AWOL from most of the world outside the little realm I'm attempting to manage. (Key word being attempting.)
On my best days I try to focus on loving my family, helping the kids smile about their lunch vegetables, and not caring about whether their hair has been brushed this week or not.
I continue to focus my (new!) camera on bits of beauty in order to help my heart do the same thing, both of which are challenging for me when the tidiness of our cozy apartment is such a direct reflection of me being a Tired-Mommy-of-Littles and The Littles being so full of creative energy. Both of which I know are beautiful things - but it so hard to feel that way in the middle of the afternoon when they're begging for another snack and I've just tripped over another pile of toys.

That is one FUN lunch! You're doing a great job, even on the days it feels like you aren't. :)
